John T Smith Apr 24, 2014 9:19 AM (in response to Kowla)I use a different HD camera, but I do not have any problems having PPro export to DV AVI (or MPEG2-DVD) for later Encore authoring... but, I use the default interlaced for a DVD, not progressive, so can't help with that part

Kowla Apr 24, 2014 9:26 AM (in response to John T Smith)Thank you John, not only for your prompt reply but also for mentioning something which I comepletely forgot: I DO NOT get the 'MPEG2-DVD' option in the dropdown. What the heck?

cvid01 Apr 24, 2014 10:01 AM (in response to Kowla)While in PPro, click on File, Export, Media - should open your export menu, which under Format should be a drop-down menu that includes MPEG2-DVD.
What is your procedure that does not show the option?

Kowla Apr 24, 2014 10:23 AM (in response to cvid01)I do the same as you suggested. File>export>media. Under format I don't see 'mpeg2-dvd'. is this a bug?

6. Re: Premiere pro CS6 export to DVD
JSS1138 Apr 24, 2014 6:58 PM (in response to Kowla)For something that long, I would recommend an alternative method.
Export out an AVI file using the free UT codec. It's lossless, so no degradation.
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite
Use that file in the free HC Encoder to create the MPEG asset for DVD authoring. You'll get better quality at lower bitrates, especially using CQ mode. The following settings are a good guide for shorter works. For something this long, try changing the dc prec to 9, the maximum to 8000, and the Quant value to 5.

Ann Bens Apr 25, 2014 2:30 AM (in response to Kowla)You wont get 160 minutes on a dvd without a bitratecalculator.
I use a framesever and Tmpgec: quick and easy. Exports straight to m2v+wav which you can use directly in Encore.

I do it.
Besides, bitate calculators are useless for the recommended CQ mode.

Ann Bens Apr 26, 2014 8:21 AM (in response to Kowla)Jim needs to explain the workflow, it is not compleet.
You need avisyth and write a small script.
That is why I use frameserver and Tmpenc: no hassle.

13. Re: Premiere pro CS6 export to DVD
JSS1138 Apr 26, 2014 12:14 PM (in response to Kowla)Sorry about that. Ann's right.
I would be nice if HC Encoder took the AVI file directly. I don't know why the program developer requires the tedious Avisynth work around. You will need to install that and write a 'script' to get the export into HC Encoder.

Kowla Apr 26, 2014 9:57 PM (in response to Ann Bens)Hi Ann and Jim,
Thank you for your advice. I double checked the timeline length, it's exactly 176 minutes.
Jim, for .avs I stumbled upon this page http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/avisynth-premiere.html"
Just tell me if it's worth doing this, coz encoding this film takes about 9 hours easily.
Ann, I have got Tmpgenc and also installed the advanced frameserver. Now what do I do?
I just need to get this film out on a dual layer dvd without compromising too much on the quality, so whichever method you guys think would be the best and would work, I'd go with that.
Thanks in advance,
Kola

I wouldn't. There are a couple benefits of my recommended method. For one, you start with a Master quality copy with the rendering already done. Secondly, HC Encoder is pretty fast to use that for the transcode process, and if you ever need to transcode it again, either because you messed up the settings or because you need a different format (say for the web), you can always go back to that Master and avoid the long render times, needing only to transcode, which is often much quicker by comparison.

18. Re: Premiere pro CS6 export to DVD
Ann Bens Apr 27, 2014 1:21 PM (in response to Kowla)Install frameserver.
Select Advanced frameserver in the Export Settings.
Set Output.
Hit Export.
The export dialog box wont show a renderbar, that is normal.
Open Tmpgenc and select New Project.
With From File select the avi the Frameserver created.
Go to Format and select DVD-video.
Set the parameters how you would like them.
For Output Mulitplexer select Elementry (video+audio).
Select Encode.
Hit Export.

19. Re: Premiere pro CS6 export to DVD
Kowla Apr 27, 2014 11:00 PM (in response to JSS1138)Thanks a lot Ann and Jim. You both being veterans on this forum I think I'm going to try both the methods starting with Ann's workflow. I've already started the export process and it says it's encoding it. This is what I've been seeing for the last 10 minutes:
I know you said the render bar won't show, but, here there is a bar only with no progress at all. Is this what you meant? Also, why is the CPU usage at 2% and RAM Usage at 19% when during encoding both figures hit the 50% - 60% mark?
So anyway, I closed the window and try again and this time it returned me an error, which basically crashes premiere:
Once again, I'm using premiere pro CC. Has this workflow been tried with CC?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
Jim, I tried your method too. I referred to this page: http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/avisynth-premiere.html
I did exactly what it suggested, dropped the suggested .prm into the plugins folder. The first time I went to program > adobe > premiere cc > plug ins > common and then dropped the file there and opened premiere cc and went to export but under no option I get a 'link to avisynth' as filetype option. So then I go to program > adobe > common > plug ins > 7.0 > media core and I dump the .prm file there. I restart premiere and then go to export, same thing.
why are things so unnecessarily complicated and the ones which are not return error? This is so frustrating, I'm going crazy here. Please help, you guys.

Ann Bens Apr 28, 2014 8:57 AM (in response to Kowla)I have used the AFS with Tmpgenc many times with CC.
Dont close the renderbar, your screendump is correct.
Hop over to Tmpenc there is where the encoding is set en rendering.

22. Re: Premiere pro CS6 export to DVD
Kowla Apr 28, 2014 9:50 AM (in response to Ann Bens)OMG! I tried again and it's working! You're an angel Ann. I've not yet hit the encode button, just have one last thing to ask before take a look at this TMPGEnc export screenshot:
I have kept the audio bitrate to 320 and used upto 98.55% of the DVD space (dual layer DVD). Will the remaining 1.45% space be enough for the the Menu and Subtitles when I finally burn it in encore? In other words, are these calculations accurate?

23. Re: Premiere pro CS6 export to DVD
Kowla Apr 28, 2014 11:39 AM (in response to Ann Bens)Ignore the previous post, I got that sorted. Except, when I select 16:9 wide screen I see two thin black vertical bars on both left and right. Why is there a disparity in the aspect ratio when it was shot in 16:9? anyway, this one's still trivial.
The main reason for this post is this brand new problem I have now. So after clicking export on premiere I hop on to TMPGEnc and select the .avi file it has created. It very comfortably accepts it. Then I choose the export settings, DVD, then I make sure the output is elementary (audio + video) and tweak around with the bitrate finally to fit the DVD and then I hit encode and it starts encoding until...
it reaches the 2235th frame which happens to be a title frame with text on it and the encoding stops right there. The time elapsed keeps increasing but nothing else happens. Earlier I thought it had something to do with the 'detect scene change' button box checked in tmpgenc so i tried again with that unchecked but it does the same thing again, encoding stops at the title frame. It also creates a fully functional .mpg file till that frame. Clearly, the program's thinking that's the end of the film and it's stop encoding it, but why? BTW, this isn't the first title. There is another title in the very beginning but that one doesn't have any video transition. This title frame has a 'dip to black' applied to it.

JSS1138 Apr 28, 2014 12:03 PM (in response to Ann Bens)You need to tell how to write a script and what to put in it.
Here's how I do it.
Install Avisynth, including the multi-thread mod.
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=148782
Export the UT AVI file to the root of your export drive, in my case it's the G: drive. I simply call it "post", so I don't have to change the script every time.
Open Notepad and paste the following into it.
SetMTMode(2)
AviSource("G:\post.avi")
ConvertToYV12()
Rename that Notepad file as premiere.avs
From HC Encoder, you can open that .avs file and it will see whatever file is the current "post.avi".

25. Re: Premiere pro CS6 export to DVD
Kowla Apr 28, 2014 8:41 PM (in response to JSS1138)Hey Jim, this one got me a lot closer. So after creating the .avs file I used that file in HCGUI and tweaked the settings as mentioned in your screen grab and then encoded the video. After the video was encoded I played the .m2v file on vlc player and here are a few things I noticed:
1. The flm is stretched horizontally. I selected 16:9. Here's a screengrab of a shot. It's a temple bell, supposed to be round.
2. There is no associated audio track. Do I have to export audio seperately from premiere? Or did i miss something in HCGUI?
3. The .m2v file is only 1.77 GB. That's too much compression considering the original UT avi stands at about 32 gb. How do I decompress the encoding (I just have to somehow fit this in a dual layer DVD)? Get those figures you tweaked back to default in HCGUI?
Thanks in advance,
Kola

Ann Bens Apr 29, 2014 1:26 AM (in response to Kowla)If the rendering gets stuck on a dip to black use keyframes instead or the clip or whatever is corrupt.

27. Re: Premiere pro CS6 export to DVD
JSS1138 Apr 29, 2014 8:03 AM (in response to Kowla)1. Bring the file into Encore, check it there.
2. Correct, audio and video are separate files when authoring DVD and Blu-ray.
3. UT is lossless. It will be a HUGE file by comparrison. Don't worry about that. If the full video came out that small, then just use the settings from the graphic I posted and don't make the changes I recommended.
